About This Program

The School

iLEAD Antelope Valley is a tuition-free, K–12 public charter school serving North Los Angeles County. The school operates a project-based, learner-led instructional model and serves a diverse student population, including a meaningful share of socioeconomically disadvantaged students and English learners.

The Cohort

Twelve students across grades 2–8, identified through fall MAP screening as performing well below grade-level expectations in mathematics. Students were enrolled in Tier 3 intervention — the most intensive support tier in a multi-tiered system of support.

Why This Program Exists

California's Local Control Funding Formula provides charter schools with supplemental funding for each English learner, low-income, and foster youth student enrolled — funds that must be used to increase or improve services for those students. iLEAD directed these supplemental dollars toward its Level Up program, partnering with A+ Tutoring to deliver Tier 3 intervention for students identified as needing the most intensive support.

01 — The Starting Point

Five students entered below the 10th percentile. Two entered at the 1st.

Fall MAP scores placed this cohort in the bottom fifth of national peers — many in the bottom tenth. These students were identified for the most intensive tier of academic support.

02 — What A+ Delivered

A high-dosage intervention model, designed for consistency.

17
hours of one-to-one math instruction per student delivered across the school year
Format
One-to-one
Every session is a single student with a single tutor. No group instruction, no shared screens.
Delivery
Synchronous
Live, scheduled instruction with a real human — not self-paced software or a recorded curriculum.
Continuity
Same tutor
Students remain with the same tutor across the cycle, building relationship and instructional continuity.
03 — The Movement

From the bottom fifth toward the middle, in a single school year.

By spring, the cohort had moved measurably up the national distribution. Most students gained ground; some gained a lot.

Individual RIT growth, sorted

Each bar represents one student's change in RIT score from fall to spring. The dashed line marks typical NWEA growth for a Tier 3 learner — roughly 7 RIT points per year.

students achieved positive RIT growth across the school year. Three did not — and are included in every average shown above.

average RIT-point gain across the cohort — roughly two and a half times typical year-over-year growth for students entering at this level.
04 — What This Means

For students entering at the bottom of the distribution, sustained one-to-one instruction can produce measurable, school-year movement — not in a year, but inside a single intervention cycle.

Methodology

Outcomes reflect twelve students enrolled in iLEAD Antelope Valley's Tier 3 mathematics intervention during the most recent assessment cycle. Pre/post measures use NWEA MAP fall and spring administrations. Reporting includes all enrolled students; no exclusions for attendance or completion.

Three students did not register positive RIT growth across the cycle. These outcomes are included in all cohort averages.
